Yeah, well, I guess that's engaging the phone.
ETA: and it looks like my carrier, AT&T outlines it such:
When your device is on:
•Calls that you do not answer that are routed to the AT&T voicemail system will be charged as an international roaming incoming call to your device.
•In addition, the foreign carrier's routing of that call to the AT&T voicemail system may generate an outgoing call charge from your device's location to the U.S.
•These charges apply even if the caller disconnects from the voicemail system without leaving a message.
If your device is turned off or in flight mode and the wireless network is off:
•When someone tries to call you, the call will go directly to your personal voicemail greeting.
•Since the network does not try to deliver the call to you in a foreign country, there are no international roaming charges.
I landed on a site that downloaded some malware. Somehow, either the malware or the steps I took to take it off, borked my internet connect. I just spent 2 hours messing with my router and modem until I realized it wasn't me. Fortunately, my service provider tech support got me back on fairly quickly.
P-C! I'm sorry my ass harassed you expensively in London!
I really need to figure out what do with with my smartphone before I head to London. Not that Hec's ass ever calls.
For dinner, I had strawberries, roasted brussels sprouts, and an apple and gouda chicken sausage. It was pretty good, you guys.
It sounds good, shrift. I had a Bertolli frozen pasta thingie, but tarted it up with butter, chicken stock, sauteed shrooms, lemon, cheese and fresh spinach. And a cheese breadstick.
And some DoubleStuf Oreo cakesters. I don't love oreos, but I am SO glad those cakesters come in little packages of two, or else I could eat a fuckton.
I haven't been posting much lately, but I've been trying to keep up.
Gud - I hope a better and brighter opportunity is right around the corner for you.
Jilli & Pete and FredPete - I'm so sorry for your loses.
Msbelle - congrats on the part time job.
I've been enjoying K-Bug time, making plans for her graduation and moving out here. CJ's play is next week, so rehearsals are running longer and longer each day.
~MA to all Buffistas suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune right now!
I did mean to say, congrats to msbelle! And I'm sorry that April is being the cruelest month to so many Buffistas.
